The NFL changing its process to take better care of its field is needed for next season’s finale. A few players for both the Chiefs and Eagles have slipped on the playing surface, more than what happens in a usual NFL game. And making sure the grass turf inside State Farm Stadium was in immaculate condition at kickoff was paramount.

While going for natural grass for a game of this magnitude is a good idea, it’s clearly been poorly executed. Numerous players have slipped on the natural grass field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ, and several fans online have noticed throughout the game. That’s right, instead of using synthetic turf, they opted to go with a national grass setup at State Farm Stadium.

The NFL spent two years preparing this playing surface in State Farm Stadium for the Super Bowl, and it stinks.

Hopefully the investment has a much better result than what we’re seeing today. However, those— Scott Pioli (@scottpioli51) [https://t.co/X5BrffJLsn] [February 13, 2023] [https://t.co/ByAZZjX0Bp] [February 13, 2023] [https://t.co/ogNVaIRF1L] [February 13, 2023] One thing that has been hard to ignore is the frequency in which the players have had a hard time keeping their footing on the grass field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

What's Going on With the Super Bowl Grass? (The New York Times)

Players have slid and slipped all game, leading television announcers and fans watching at home to wonder whether the field is too slippery.

It’s possible the field did not dry out as it might have under normal game conditions. But players have slid and slipped all game, leading television announcers and fans watching at home to wonder whether the field is too slippery. That was no different this year at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals.

'Like playing on a water park': Aussie rages as image exposes $1.1m Super Bowl farce.

[leading the Chiefs to a 38-35 victory](https://www.news.com.au/sport/american-sports/nfl/super-bowl-2023-live-nick-riewoldt-spotted-on-espns-super-bowl-coverage/news-story/c62a7ab1c5cbc3df055b3ce92a7f569f) off the back of 182 passing yards, the franchise’s third Super Bowl and second with Mahomes at the helm. It hasn’t seemed to hinder Hurts, becoming the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to have three rushing touchdowns in a game to tie the match at 35-35 with 5 minutes remaining on a two-point conversion. Another key moment in the first half saw Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker miss a 42-yard field goal, hitting the upright and missing with scores tied at 7-7, and appearing to slip on the painted Super Bowl logo as he made the kick. However, the abundance of NFL logos painted onto the field seem to be responsible for the players slipping over, with former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli noticing the size of the Super Bowl logos. Pioli said on Twitter that slipping over on painted areas of the field was “not uncommon on grass.” Despite the NFL spending $1.16m on developing a field for State Farm Stadium that took 11 months to grow, the surface for Super Bowl LVII was still remarkably not up to scratch, with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes going down late in the first half with an ankle injury.

Super Bowl 57 turf called into question during Chiefs vs. Eagles game (AZCentral.com)

The playing surface at State Farm Stadium is once again being called into question. But this time it is for Super Bowl 57.

[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). "I don't feel like it was any different than any other place," he told reporters this week. I was coming at the ball 10, 11 yards away. That gave them an opportunity to assess the field and what types of footwear would work best. “We’ve got to make sure it takes its time, cures and gets ready.” The grass was grown at a local sod farm in a process that began in May 2021. [Arizona Super Bowl's grass turf required nearly 2-year process](https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/super-bowl/2023/02/10/super-bowls-grass-turf-required-nearly-2-year-process/69893839007/) [A Cardinals spokesperson later refuted Reid's claim](https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2022/09/14/kansas-city-chiefs-andy-reid-blames-arizona-cardinals-field-injuries/10377320002/) that the playing surface had something to do with the Chiefs' injuries, noting it had been replaced on Aug. The turf picked up, and I would tell you that did have something to do with it. He also said the field “is routinely ranked among the best — if not THE best — among NFL players, including in surveys conducted by the NFL (Players Association).” More: “It’s part of the Butker injury and the (Trent) McDuffie injury, and that’s unfortunate. That’s what happens sometimes when you re-sod,” Reid told the Associated Press.

Is State Farm Stadium Turf Or Grass? Story Behind Unique Super ... (NBC Chicago)

The playing conditions in Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles raised some questions.

The NFL had spent two years preparing the grass just for Super Bowl LVII, and it was installed two weeks ago. [slipped dangerously](https://twitter.com/AryePulliTSP/status/1624957959984885760) on a kickoff that could’ve ended badly for his left ankle. Toma, 94, is a groundskeeper who has prepared every single Super Bowl, 37 Pro Bowls and multiple World Series, among other fields. Each morning, the grass had been rolled out to receive daily sunshine. Then Jerick McKinnon slid at the Eagles’ one-yard line to further run out the clock. Patrick Mahomes had a late 26-yard scramble on a bad ankle that resulted in him sliding to give his team optimal field position.

Eagles players rip State Farm Stadium's turf, 'the worst' field conditions (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

Edge rusher Haason Reddick said, "this is the worst field I've ever played on," after the Eagles' Super Bowl loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Glendale ...

While there isn’t a definite answer as to why the field was slippery, it certainly contributed towards the players’ ability to perform. “It’s not like we were playing on ice and they were playing on grass. [Eagles’ James Bradberry owns up to pulling the jersey in the Super Bowl. “Once again, it had no reason for the outcome of the game. It was just adjusting to slippage that was going on.” The grass is grown at a local sod farm in Phoenix, meaning it was likely harvested into rolls. We all had to play on it...Same thing if you had to change a game plan or change a play, or whatever you had to do. [In an all-time great Super Bowl, the Eagles weren’t good enough. Growing and installing the turf cost $800,000. It was things we did that lost us the game. Still was slipping, so I don’t know. GLENDALE, Ariz.
